Schools

We don’t have any role in school complaints; you should contact your child’s school directly.

Investigating your complaint

We will write to you within 3 days of receiving your complaint to tell you we have received it. We will tell you who will be investigating it and when you can expect an answer.

We will investigate the complaint and depending on the seriousness of the complaint, we may ask an independent investigator to look at it. We may ask you to meet us and the care provider to find a solution to the problem.

We will write to you to tell you the results of our investigation.

We aim to respond to most complaints within 20 working days but the statutory procedures allow up to 65 working days for the investigation of more complex complaints.

If you’re not happy with our investigation

Contact the Customer Relations Manager if you’re not happy with the findings of our investigation or how we’ve dealt with your complaint.
